スリン・アルウェンのおすすめランニングルート

Though it was not a tough or technical ride, it did take me into territory I had never visited before and was a lovely antidote to the 'fleshpots' of Gwydir Forest or Coed-y-Brenin. Some lovely gentle singletrack, beautiful views and I didn't see another rider for the whole trip - although tbh I did set off at 08.30 on a Wednesday!!

The views over Alwen Reservoir from this section along the northern shore are simply wonderful! You'll take them in if you follow the waymarked Alwen or Lakes Circular routes. You move between open views and between the trees, but both are pretty spectacular, especially at sunset.

A pair of Ospreys have nested at Llyn Brenig

Excellent spot for a break. Good food, especially the cake.
